Urgent QuestionsHow can we make a Smithsonian Mobile that is greater than the sum of its parts? What framework will encourage collaboration and ‘joined up thinking’ among the Smithsonian’s many museums, research units and zoo to the benefit of staff and visitors alike? What tools and best practices will facilitate quick and efficient development, e.g. through reuse of common mobile modules and APIs to avoid reinventing the wheel with every initiative?What infrastructure is required to ensure the best possible experience of the Smithsonian by visitors, scholars, and partners around the world?How can we strengthen and defend Smithsonian quality and brand values across the rapidly changing mobile platforms and landscape?More at: http://smithsonian-webstrategy.wikispaces.com/Mobile+Strategic+Planning
